Concorde


Departing JFK for Blighty

Buzzing the soybeans

The original was noisier

Flanging twin-motor sound (17")

Into the sunset

Black props visible only at fast shutter speeds

Side view

Shiny beats foamy

Electric-trigger pedal launcher

Bathrobe over PVC pipe

Sp400 motor whacks crossbow-like release

Everything fits on my bike

Plates and fillers for micro servos

FMA M5 rx, 4x HS-55 servos

Oak towhook hardpoint, velcro battery holder

Fin edges notched, folded, glued and clamped

Dymond D50 ESC, motors in parallel

Tyvek hatch hinge, carbon+glass hardpoint

Depron-filled divots, glassed nacelles

Nose spar; uncovered/covered
Robbe Concorde. Twin speed-400 foamie. Built 2004, flown 2006-7.

1992-96 British Airways livery. On the tail, a stylized Union flag. Along the fuselage, a simplified "Speedbird" flourish. The nose doesn't droop (instead it flips up just forward of the spar on a botched landing, easily repaired).

80 cm span. About 32 oz, depending on battery.

3s lipo, twin speed-400 direct drive Gunther spoon props. At 25 A full throttle, silly vertical climbs are possible.

Covered with Oracover-Lite heat-shrink film. 2 oz of lead in the nose compensates for that weight.

Four-servo modification lets elevator help ailerons and vice versa, and allows differential aileron to reduce adverse yaw. It also allows "crow" braking, which isn't strictly necessary since a delta wing can flare mightily and keep control. Still, landings are more realistic when the nose stays below 20 degrees.
